The Anticipated Strike.

CHICAGO, April 29.-Tbe master masons
and builders association held hours ses'
sion last night in considering the threatened
strike of the helpers and hod carriers, which
it is feared will be inaugurated May /, if
their demands for an increase OF wages from
% 10 % cents per hour is not ac;eded to, and
the expression was unanimous that the en-
ployers could not afford under present con-
tracts to increase wages. They also decided
that they would not recognize the bod car
riera' union under any circumstances either
at the present or at any other wages. The
president of the association says he really
expects the strike to take place Monday. At
meeting of the hod carriers union it was
decided to instruct all the members of the
union 10 lay their demands personally be-
fore their employers next Saturday and to
ask for definite reply. The men will make
reports at the meeting on Sunday and all
those employed by contractors refusing to
raise their wages will be ordered out. The
plasterer's union passed resolutions prohibit
ing its members from handling work done
for Thorn by non union laborers. This
means that the plasterers will refuse to
work with men, who in case of strike
would take the place of the union hod car
riera. A strike of the hod carriers and
helpers means the laying of of the masons
also or the going out OF $4,000 Of men on
Monday next.
